Radial Engineering has announced that the KL-8, a rackmount professional keyboard mixer and a digital interface, is now shipping.
The Radial KL-8 is a unique mixing station created with keyboard pros in mind, including a number of features designed specifically to streamline and enhance any keyboard setup. Four keyboards can be connected in mono or stereo, with level controls, aux sends, and signal/clip LED indicators for each. A stereo aux send/receive channel is available to feed rackmount reverbs, delays, and effects pedals, or it can be used for additional input for a fifth keyboard.
The output section includes two sets of transformer-isolated outputs to feed the PA system and a pair of powered monitors, with individual level controls and mono sum switches to accommodate for limited channel availability. Dual 1/4-inch headphone outputs are also included for local monitoring and testing. A cue system allows any keyboard input to be muted from the overall mix and fed directly to the headphones to silently check patch settings without feeding signal to the audience.
Equally well-suited for a live stage or a professional recording studio, multiple Radial KL-8s can be linked to accommodate even larger keyboard setups. Like all Radial products, the Radial KL-8 is a built-in Canada and features a transferable 3-year warranty.
